Yeah, we just had a TPK when the one melee fighter in this group of 3 36-point characters changed from original ITL UC V + your HTH rules and Judo changed to the most recent version of UC V + your HTH rules and Judo. We are going with these limitations as-written:
  • Fist damage is 1d - 4, no scaling with ST
  • -2 DX adjustment and blocking 3 hits does not work against ranged weapons

Nerve strikes have not come into play yet (against ST 20 terror birds) but it seems like you could declare a nerve strike for one or both of the two punches you can do if you choose to do slightly less damage.
